But things took a turn for the worse when a friend of Gemma and the boyfriend of Gemma's best friend, Mikey, who was sitting in the audience started goading him and calling him a "mug".

This prompted a furious Stephen, who Jeremy said is the the most volatile person he'd seen on the show in 10 years, to launch out of his seat backstage and attempt to run up to him in the audience, before he was eventually restrained by a huge security guard.

“She’s one of my best friends before she was with this prat," Mikey says before his girlfriend tells him to be quiet.

Moments later, Mikey shouts from the audience once again: “You're an excuse of a man who calls himself a father, but smokes weed every day.”

“You don’t want to get no help and smoke drugs. Don’t try it Stephen [sic].”

But a seething Jeremy tells him to "shut up" now he's had his say, but Mikey continues to shout and it's not long before the host, 49, gets him booted out of the audience.

Moving the focus back to Stephen and Gemma, Gemma's friend Sarah - who is also on the show - tells Stephen that he needs to get help and shows him a 4D scan of their unborn baby.

Sarah says: “You need to get help – you need it for your unborn baby. You have a child on the way. If you loved that girl and you loved that child, you’d stop it now.”

“It’s not about you and Gemma, it’s about the baby.”

Medical examinations were also done on Stephen and the doctor said he was worried about the results.

"If he doesn’t stop, he’s got 10 more years until his long-term health is ruined."

Offering him help, Jeremy says Stephen needs to get you to a point where he's going to give up the drugs.

“You can be a dad to that kid, but not in this situation,” he continues.

Returning to the Jeremy Kyle a week later after the show offered him help, Gemma says things still haven't changed and he's still smoking weed.

And talking to Jeremy, he says he's struggling to get off it, had even smoked the previous night, and he's clashing with Gemma.

He then had another blazing row with another audience member who appeared on the show over a year ago to talk about her £140-a-week weed habit and wanted to offer him some advice.

But still persevering, the host and resident psychotherapist Graham said they still wanted to get help for Stephen by putting him in an intense therapy programme for four weeks right away, and the dad-to-be finally says he's willing to accept help.
